A Garden of Giggles – New Etsy Printable Collection

A Garden of Giggles introduces a new printable collection inspired by the early 1900s baby dolls held in the My Doll Cottage collection. Drawing on the charm of Edwardian-era childhood, the set features soft garden scenes, vintage toys, lace details, and gentle pastel tones designed for junk journalling, paper crafts, and creative storytelling. Each element is an imaginative tribute to the antique baby dolls displayed in our museum, offering them a second life in printable form while helping support the preservation and care of our growing doll collection in regional Western Australia.

A Garden of Giggles – New Printable Collection Inspired by Our Early 1900s Baby Dolls

Our latest Etsy collection brings sweet vintage babies and playful garden scenes to your craft table.

We’re so excited to share the newest release from our Etsy store — a gentle, whimsical collection of printable goodies inspired by the early 1900s baby dolls from the My Doll Cottage collection.

Set in soft, illustrated garden scenes filled with vintage charm, these printables celebrate the innocence of early childhood and the sweet style of Edwardian-era dolls. Think bloomers, bonnets, wildflowers, and wooden toys — all beautifully bundled into one timeless craft kit.

Some of our early 1900's Dolls on display

Inspired by Our Baby Doll Collection

As we catalogued some of our earliest baby dolls — many tucked into antique prams and dressed in lace-trimmed gowns — we imagined the kinds of outdoor scenes they may have once been part of.

This new printable collection was designed to honour those memories, featuring gentle garden themes and delicate details that reflect a slower, more sentimental time.

Our early 1900s baby dolls often come with soft cloth bodies, wax-over or bisque faces, and hand-painted expressions. Some are displayed in our museum cradles and prams, others snuggled beside hand-stitched quilts. They’ve now found a second life — in printable form — ready to be cut, collaged, and crafted with love.
